Every time I hear the words "mineral makeup" I always have flashbacks of standing at the Bare Minerals counter with my friend Nita (who is from India and has the most lovely deep shade of skin that rerminds me of figs) while the counter girl fumbled around before handing her what they call their "tan" & "warm tan" collection and saying to her "here these colors are usually for Asian & Hispanic people but you could probably get close to your color with them" Where then Nita promptly replied "I am Asian, just not like, 'Jackie Chan' Asian" HA!
I was turned on to a little company called b.l.a.c. (Basic Luxuries for All Colors) minerals
So... it has taken me a long time to come around to the mineral makeup hype but b.l.a.c. minerals seems to have a more diverse color pallet for people who are more than just "ivory, light, medium, tan or dark". Upon my friend's urging, I ordered a sample kit. I was hoping this was going to be the one but sadly for me it failed. The coverage was nice and it really did match and blend very well, but I have very sensitive skin and after only about 30 minutes of wear my face broke out in an itchy rash and I immediately washed it off.. I don't know, I guess I'm going to have to go half and half with this one. I simply cannot wear it but my friend thinks it's great.
Sorry b.l.a.c. minerals, you get the pout :(
